COVER REVEAL: NOT FADE AWAY

Some births come with complications so
severe you fear for the life of both child and mother. It’s a fight to bring
that creation into the light, and sometimes it takes much longer and a lot more
work than expected.

That’s why I’m so excited to announce
(finally!) the birth of my latest book baby, Not Fade Away, Interstellar Rescue Book 4. This Earth-based SFR
novel, the newest installment in my Rescue
series, launches June 12, but is on pre-order with Amazon
now.

Over the next few weeks you’ll have a chance
to meet the hero and heroine of Not Fade
Away, former Rescue agent Rafe Gordon and home care nurse Charlie McIntye, but
today Charlie’s therapy dog Happy takes center stage. Happy is “rescue,” too,
in the sense that he was adopted from the local Humane Society shelter, but,
like many of his kind, it’s debatable whether Charlie rescued him or he rescued
her.

The cheerful Belgian shepherd mix helps his
mistress with her elderly clients and takes an instant shine to Del Gordon, a
wheelchair-bound ex-Canadian Mountie with dementia who has recently moved to
the small town of Masey, North Carolina to become Charlie’s client. Or, at
least, that’s the story Charlie has been told. Even Happy can sense Charlie’s
confusion when the old man’s symptoms don’t quite line up with his diagnosis.

Then there is the old man’s son, Rafe. Happy
is inclined to like everybody, but he can sense this human’s hesitation. It’s
like this guy doesn’t even know how to act around a dog! And, if you ask Happy,
the guy likes Charlie entirely too much. What’s worse is that she likes him,
too. Ugh!

Finding your way toward family is not an
easy task under any circumstances, much less when alien hunters are a constant
threat. Good thing Happy is there to protect his new pack. These humans need
all the help they can get.

Rescue agent Rafe Gordon is human, though
Earth has never been his home. But when his legendary father Del becomes the
target of alien assassins, Rafe must hide the dementia-debilitated hero in the
small mountain town where the old man was born—Masey, North Carolina, USA,
Earth.

Home care nurse Charlie McIntyre and her
therapy dog, Happy, have never had such challenging clients before. Del’s
otherworldly “episodes” are not explained by his diagnosis, making Charlie
question everything about her mysterious charge and his dangerously attractive
son. Rafe has the answers she needs, but Charlie will have to break through his
wall of secrets to get them.

As the heat rises between Charlie and Rafe,
the deadly alien hunters circle closer. The light they seek to extinguish flickers
in the gloom of Del’s fading mind—the memory of a planet-killer that threatens
to enslave the galaxy.

Welcome to Spacefreighters' Lounge

Pull up a hoverchair and have a Billins. :)

This blog is named in honor of the seedy tavern on the planet Dartis in Inherit the Stars where Laurie's MC Sair originally began his journey--before her critiquers compelled her to trash the Star Wars cantina opening. [See post entitled: From Whence Came the Nameclick to see the excerpt.]

Not being one to give up on a theme, a new Spacefreighters Lounge manifested itself on the planet Banna in a later draft--reincarnated as a slightly more respectable locale.
